hey, just a random question.. not sure where to post this.. but can someone with experience tell me how hard it is to get into post grad physio after doing a science degree at melb or how hard it is to get into engineering after doing a science degree at melb? thankss

Not sure where to post this but, I'm a little confused for what's happening on Academic Advice Day. I am doing Bachelor of Commerce and so am going to attend that one hour information session, but I also want to do engineering, for which the information session is at the same time (11am-12pm). Do I have to go to the information session with my surname? Why have they placed this at the same time? I don't get Someone inject me with some help, thankz

So it's better to learn new things and suffer lower grades?In doing this, it should allow me to do more of the other subjects that interest me yes, as I will have free blocks?

Well what's the point in essentially re learning something you already know (in the case of Calculus 1)? It's not even about ease of grades... I wouldn't ever think of it like that... The subjects follow on from each other so that you are consistently building on your body of knowledge. That's the point. And yes of course - it leaves room for more interesting and advanced subjects down the track. You might even have room for a 'double major' if you plan carefully and can't decide between two things you enjoy.

definitely don't do calc1 if you've done spesh. there's no point.from what i've heard, the advanced stream of physics is almost exactly the same as the regular physics stream, just you use slightly more math. If you like math, go for it, otherwise you probably won't be missing out on much if you take the regular stream. as far as marks are concerned, you'll prolly be looking at similar marks regardless of which stream you take.

Ah thank you, turns out I can't do advanced physics anyway. Didn't see the part about 35 in spec, only got 33.

You are meant to go to the session with your surname, but you "don't" have to. If they ask you what your surname is on the way in (which they will like train inspectors, and stop a few people at a time), just say that it is something within the range (A-H) or (I-Z).
